The water from the cytoplasm within the red blood cell will move out of the cell into the environment and the cell itself will shrivel up.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if an injected solution were hypertonic to your blood?
If an injected solution is hypertonic to your blood, it means that the solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the blood plasma. This would lead to water moving out of your blood cells into the surrounding hypertonic solution to balance the solute concentrations, causing the blood cells to shrink or crenate. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to dehydration of tissues and adverse physiological effects.
Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?
hypertonic solution, causing water to leave the cell and causing it to shrink and become distorted in shape.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
Plasmolysis of a human red blood cell would occur if the cell were?
Placed in a hypertonic solution with a higher solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to leave the cell and the cell to shrink and shrivel.
What happens to a red blood cell when placed hypotonic solution?
In isotonic solution nothing ail happen. In hypertonic solution fluid will leave the cell to dilute the external fluid, causing the cell to crenate. In Hypotonic solution fluid will move into the cell to dilute the contents of the cell, causing it to bust or haemolyse.
Crenation occurs when blood is placed in a?
hypertonic solution
What will happen if one of your red blood cells is placed in an environment with a lot of salt?
The water will flow out of the cell into the hypertonic solution and the red blood cell will crenate (crush).
What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic salt solution will lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This process is known as crenation, and it can ultimately lead to the cell's death if the condition is not corrected.
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.

Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?
hypertonic solution, causing water to leave the cell and causing it to shrink and become distorted in shape.
What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
Well, honey, if you throw a blood cell into a hypertonic salt solution, that cell is gonna shrivel up like a raisin in the sun. The salt solution outside the cell has more solutes than inside, so water will leave the cell to try to balance things out, leaving the poor cell looking like a deflated balloon. So, in short, that blood cell is gonna have a bad day.
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9 percent NaCl?
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
What solution causes crenation of the red blood cell?
In a hypotonic solution, red blood cells swell and undergo hemolysis, while in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and undergo crenation.
